While Amazon offers a battery-powered version of the Echo in the form of the Echo Tap, it doesn’t have the always-listening capabilities that makes the original Echo and Echo Dot so great. However, you can run the Echo Dot on battery power and have it last for days–all you need is a USB battery pack.
尽管亚马逊以Echo Tap的形式提供了电池供电的Echo版本，但它不具备始终聆听的功能，因此原始Echo和Echo Dot如此出色。 但是，您可以使用电池供电来运行Echo Dot，并且可以持续使用几天-您只需要一个USB电池组即可。
Update: Amazon now offers always-listening on the Amazon Tap, but if you already have an Echo Dot, this is still a worthwhile project!
更新：亚马逊现在提供始终在Amazon Tap上监听的功能 ，但是如果您已经拥有Echo Dot，这仍然是一个值得的项目！
The Amazon Echo is made to be a stationary device–it’s meant to be set up somewhere in your house and never moved around after that point. However, it could be game night and you want the Echo close by, or you want the Echo somewhere where an outlet just isn’t nearby. Heck, maybe you even want to take it camping over the weekend.
Amazon Echo被做成一台固定设备，意在安装在您家中的某个位置，并且从那以后再也不会移动了。 但是，可能是在游戏之夜，并且您希望Echo在附近 ，或者您希望Echo在附近没有插座的地方。 哎呀，也许您甚至想在周末露营。
There are already products on the market that are specifically geared toward cutting the ties between your Echo and the outlet, but they’re pretty expensive, and don’t really provide you with the best battery life. Nonetheless, these products are perhaps the best option you have if you want to make your original Echo battery powered, as it uses a dedicated power cord, rather than a simple microUSB connection like the Echo Dot.
市场上已经有专门用于减少Echo和插座之间关系的产品 ，但是它们价格昂贵，并且不能真正为您提供最佳的电池寿命。 但是，如果您想让原始的Echo电池供电，这些产品可能是您最好的选择，因为它使用专用的电源线，而不是像Echo Dot这样的简单microUSB连接。
However, if you have an Echo Dot, there are much cheaper options that can provide you with a longer battery life and more versatility.
但是，如果您拥有Echo Dot，则可以选择更便宜的选择，从而为您提供更长的电池寿命和更多用途。
获取便携式电池组 (Get a Portable Battery Pack)
You’re probably familiar with portable battery packs, which allow you to recharge your phone on the go. Since the Echo Dot uses a microUSB port for getting power, you can use any ol’ microUSB cable to power it. Then, to run off of battery power, simply plug it into any portable battery pack. The Echo will automatically boot up and be ready for use.
您可能熟悉便携式电池组 ，可让您随时随地为手机充电。 由于Echo Dot使用microUSB端口供电，因此您可以使用任何microUSB电缆为其供电。 然后，要用尽电池电量，只需将其插入任何便携式电池组即可。 Echo将自动启动并准备使用。
As far as what battery pack to get, I’m a big fan of Anker, and they make a beefy 20,000mAh battery pack that’s available for $39. According to my own tests, the Echo Dot consumes around 570mAh of power every hour, which means a 20,000mAh battery pack could provide power to an Echo Dot for 35 hours straight, or almost a day and a half.
至于要获得什么电池组，我是Anker的忠实拥护者 ，他们制作了一个强劲的20,000mAh电池组 ，售价39美元。 根据我自己的测试，Echo Dot每小时消耗大约570mAh的电量，这意味着一个20,000mAh的电池组可以连续35个小时(约一天半)为Echo Dot供电。
Of course, if you unplug it at night when you’re sleeping and not needing to use the Echo Dot, you can make it last even longer, perhaps as long as three days if you really stretch it out.
当然，如果您在晚上睡觉时不需要使用Echo Dot，则可以将其拔下，甚至可以延长使用时间，如果您真的可以拉开它，则可以使用长达三天。
However, this doesn’t necessarily make the whole setup portable by any means, as in it’s not really something that you can easily just pick it up with one hand and move. A 20,000mAh isn’t exactly small, and they’re pretty heavy for they’re size. Plus, the microUSB cable connecting the Echo Dot to the battery pack can be a bit cumbersome, which is why you might be better off with a short cable that doesn’t get in the way or tangle up.
但是，这并不一定使整个安装方式变得可移植，因为用一只手拿起并移动它并不是一件容易的事。 20,000mAh的电池并不小，而且体积很大。 另外，将Echo Dot连接到电池组的microUSB电缆可能有点麻烦，这就是为什么最好使用不会阻碍或缠结的短电缆。
Still though, this kind of setup at least frees your Echo Dot from the confines of the wall, and you can set it pretty much anywhere, no matter if there’s an outlet nearby or not.
尽管如此，这种设置至少可以使您的Echo Dot不受墙壁限制，而且无论附近是否有插座，您都可以在几乎任何地方进行设置。
奖励升级：获取蓝牙扬声器/电池组组合 (Bonus Upgrade: Get a Bluetooth Speaker/Battery Pack Combo)
If you want to take things to the next level and even turn your Echo Dot into a full-fledged Echo of sorts, you can get a Bluetooth speaker that also doubles as a battery pack.
如果您想将事物提升到一个新的高度，甚至将Echo Dot转变为成熟的Echo，您可以购买一个蓝牙扬声器，该扬声器也可以作为电池组使用。
One Reddit user combined his Echo Dot and JBL Charge speaker, connecting the speaker to the Echo Dot over Bluetooth and powering the Dot via the USB connection from the speaker. The speaker only comes with a 6,000mAh battery, so it certainly won’t last as long as the previous method, but it will give you at least a few hours of use depending on how much you’re using the Echo Dot and the speaker.
一名Reddit用户组合了他的Echo Dot和JBL Charge扬声器 ，通过蓝牙将扬声器连接到Echo Dot，并通过扬声器的USB连接为Dot供电。 该扬声器仅配备6,000mAh电池，因此它的使用寿命肯定不会比以前的方法长，但是它会给您至少几个小时的使用时间，具体取决于您使用Echo Dot和扬声器的程度。
